Fajri '300 Kg' Dies At RSCM

JAKARTA - President Director of the Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital, Jakarta Lies Dina Liastuti, reported that a obese patient from Tangerang, Moch Fajri Rifana (26), died.

"That's right," said Lies Dina Liastuti when confirmed by ANTARA regarding the news of Moch Fajri Rifana's death via text message quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 22.

However, Lies has not explained in more detail about the cause and time of Fajri's death since he was treated at RSCM Jakarta on Friday (9/6) night.

Fajri is an obese patient who is estimated to be medical at the Tangerang City Hospital weighing more than 260 kilograms before being referred to the RSCM.

The resident of Jalan Kedaung No. 125 RT.02 RW02, Larangan Indah Village, Larangan District, Tangerang City, is certain to have difficulty doing activities due to fat deposits in his body.

The patient experienced this incident after experiencing a traffic accident three years ago. The incident made Fajri only weak in bed and made his body grow.

Before the accident occurred, Fajri had a body weight of 150 kg. Now, the RSCM medical team estimates that Fajri's body weight is around 300 kg which is estimated to be due to hormonal disorders.

RSCM Jakarta has involved a scientific multi-disciplinary medical team to restore patient weight.

Lies said the cases experienced by Fajri were rare incidents experienced by adults. The case is the second time handled by the RSCM medical team, after previously a similar case was experienced by a patient on behalf of Arya Permana (10) in 2016 weighing around 190 kg.

Meanwhile, the case of obesity in children was handled by RSCM in early 2023 on behalf of Muhammad Kenzi Alfaro, a 16-month toddler weighing 27 kg from Bekasi Regency, West Java. The two cases were successfully handled by the RSCM medical team.
